The building’s design was inspired by an ancient Chinese wine vessel, according to the CITIC Group, the building's developer.
Zeng Yunping, the chief operating manager of the project, said many firsts have been made, such as a 500-meter elevator that only takes 10 seconds to reach the 28th floor.
"So far, the China Zun project has 12 technological innovations, in particular, the intelligent construction equipment integration platform, which has been developed by us independently, has 14 patents, six of which are patents for invention. Experts have validated that this platform is of the finest in the world, and will be the key technology for China to build skyscrapers higher than 1,000 meters," said Zeng.
The skyscraper will serve a variety of functions, such as an office building and a tourist destination, according to the group.
The building's top floor will also function as a sightseeing platform and cafe, providing visitors with a panoramic view of the CBD.
The project will cost an estimated 24 billion yuan (3.8 billion US dollars).
Started in 2013, the China Zun building is scheduled to be completed in July 2017, and begin operation in October 2018.

# 10 Shanghai World Financial Center
The Shanghai World Financial Center is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world and easily the tallest building in Shanghai. It is distinguished by its unique shape, 101 stories and 1,621 feet/494.3 meters tall. It is a mixed space that has a ground level mall, hotels, office spaces, and observational decks.
# 9 Beijing National Stadium
The Beijing National Stadium was built in 2008 for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It’s also known as the Bird’s Nest because of the lattice structure that covers the whole structure. It has a capacity of 91,000 total and had a record attendance of nearly just as many people. Currently, it does not have much use.
# 8 Beijing National Aquatics Center
The Beijing National Aquatics Center was another structure built for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Although it’s not actually in the shape of a cube, it is colloquially known as the Water Cube. During the Olympics swimmers broke 25 world records but after the Olympics ended officials struggled to find a use for the building. Now, after a 200 million Yuan (you-en) revamp it has turned into an indoor Water Park. It is also slated to host curling events at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
# 7 The LotusBuilding
In Wujin, China is the Lotus Building, a building that looks like a floating, lit lotus flower floating on a pool of water. It was built by the Australian architecture firm Studio505 and obviously modeled after the iconic lotus flower. It is a flashy building that serves as the building for the city planning bureau - a major upgrade for a bureaucratic government committee.
# 6 Ring of LifeThe Ring of Life is a super clean structure in Fushun, China and stands at 515 feet tall. It is a giant steel structure in the shape of a giant shape. It has an observation deck, and it is lit up by 12,000 LED lights. The strange thing is that it is built out in the middle of nowhere as a way to attract a tourist industry to the area. It used around 3,000 tons of steel and cost around $16 million US dollars.
# 5 New Century Global CenterThe NewCenturyGlobalCenter is known as the biggest building by volume in the world. It is famous for the fact that 20 of the Sydney Opera House could fit inside of it. Inside of this center in Chengdu is an amazing amount of facilities like an entire UniversityComplex, one of the biggest shopping centers in the world, an entire IMAX theater, and a faux Mediterranean village.
# 4 Phoenix InternationalMedia Center
This building is the home for PhoenixSatellite Television and is officially called the Phoenix International Media Center but is colloquially known as the Little Bird’s Nest. It is reportedly modeled after a Mobius strip which is why it has a round shape and continuous surface. It has office space and recording studios for everything in the production pipeline of Phoenix TV which is a Hong Kong broadcasting firm that distributes to mainland China. It is not only stylish but takes green practices into account, and the surfaces of the building collect rainwater to be recycled.
# 3 Zoho Peaks
The Zoho Peaks in Beijing were designed to look like a cluster of mountains, and they certainly live up to their namesake. They are a mixed space building utilized as both a retail space and office complex, but primarily it decorates the Beijing skyline with a unique looking building.
# 2 Coiling DragonCliff
This skin-tingling glass walk is the Coiling Dragon skywalk is installed 984 feet up on the Tianmen (chee-ann-min) Mountain in one of China’s national parks. It is a 100 meter or 110-yard long walk on an almost completely transparent glass structure. Parts of the skywalk overlook the popular Tongtian Avenue, a mountain path that has 99 turns and snakes into the Tianmen mountain. The walkway is more than stable, but you can see tourists clinging to the cliff afraid of falling while the bolder of heart sit directly on the glass overlooking the deathly fall.
# 1 Linked Hybrid
This building from Steven HollArchitecture firm has been called a city within a city because of the plethora of different facilities that use the space inside. The Linked Hybrid has been named the best tall building of Australia and Asia because it comes with office space, education facilities, even a jazz club. The building itself consists of eight different towers that are linked together by sky bridges. It’s a compound that seeks to streamline city life by minimizing the amount of time people have to commute every day.

The history of skyscrapers in Beijing began in 1959 with the completion of the National Minority Hotel. Beijing's skyline gradually expanded upward at a modest rate for three decades. The completion of the China World Trade Center Tower 1 in 1989 marked the beginning of Beijing's first building boom that lasted ten years. During this time period, four skyscrapers taller than 150m (492ft) were completed, including the 208m (682ft)Jing Guang Centre, which stood as the tallest building in Beijing from 1990–2006. A second, much larger boom began in 2004 and continues into the present, where twelve skyscrapers taller than 150m (492ft) were finished. Many of the skyscrapers completed during both building booms are located in Chaoyang District, including the Beijing TV Centre, Park Tower and Fortune Plaza Office Building 1, all of which served as the tallest building in the city for a time.As of December 2008, there are 895 completed highrise buildings in Beijing.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the building took place in Beijing on September 19, 2011 and the constructors expect to finish the project within five years. After completion, China Zun will be Northern China's second tallest building after Goldin Finance 117 in Tianjin.

Smog-eating buildings the solution to Beijing's smog?

Heavy smog is a growing problem in Beijing and 25 provinces in China. When even adding more trees and plants can't help China clean up its air, what sort of solution is out there?
A smog-eating building! Designed by Berlin's Elegant Embellishments, this innovative tile material on the Torre de Especialidades Tower outside a hospital in Mexico City mitigates smog by neutralizing exhaust emitted by hundreds of passing cars each day.
A layer of titanium dioxide, which is also found in sunblock and paint, is applied to the tiles on the building's beehive-shaped facade. When exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun, titanium dioxide breaks down smog into safer chemicals, such as water and carbon dioxide.
The unique beehive shape also increases the surface area that can react with sunlight. According to designers, the smog-eating tiles best function best at parking lots, sky bridges and bus stations.

Sober Reality for Beijing's Olympic Building Binge

Sober Reality for Beijing's Olympic Building Binge

Sober Reality for Beijing's Olympic Building Binge

WONG:
The Los Angeles Times reports that at least 20 per cent of Beijings 500 million square feet of commercial real estate built since 2006, is either vacant or nearly so.
The scale of pre-Olympic building broke all world records, thrusting Beijing into the architectural limelight. But now, six months after the Games have ended, many of the buildings that sparkle in the night lights are hauntingly empty come daylight.
There are almost no long-term economic benefits expected from the buildings.
The BirdsNest national stadium, for example, costs $9 million a year to maintain, but with only one scheduled event in 2009, the nest will probably become a shopping mall.
With no private ownership of land in China and a lack of government supervision in the real estate industry, pre-Olympic developers ignored the mass market and built only for the luxury market.
Most of the real estate has been financed by Chinese banks that have not written down the loans. But when they are finally forced to, a trickle down effect is expected throughout the economy.

Smog-eating buildings the solution to Beijing's smog?

The unfinished China Zun building became the highest skyscraper in Beijing on Thursday at 333 meters, dwarfing the nearby China World Trade CenterTower 3.
Located in Beijing's Central Business District, also known as CBD, the building, constructed on a site of 11,478 square meters, will stand at a whopping 528 meters high with 108 floors and 7 underground stories.
The façade features ultra-white glass and the elevators will be able to take visitors straight to the top floor at a staggering height of 524 meters.
The building’s design was inspired by an ancient Chinese wine vessel, according to the CITIC Group, the building's developer.
Zeng Yunping, the chief operating manager of the project, said many firsts have been made, such as a 500-meter elevator that only takes 10 seconds to reach the 28th floor.
"So far, the China Zun project has 12 technological innovations, in particular, the intelligent construction equipment integration platform, which has been developed by us independently, has 14 patents, six of which are patents for invention. Experts have validated that this platform is of the finest in the world, and will be the key technology for China to build skyscrapers higher than 1,000 meters," said Zeng.
The skyscraper will serve a variety of functions, such as an office building and a tourist destination, according to the group.
The building's top floor will also function as a sightseeing platform and cafe, providing visitors with a panoramic view of the CBD.
The project will cost an estimated 24 billion yuan (3.8 billion US dollars).
Started in 2013, the China Zun building is scheduled to be completed in July 2017, and begin operation in October 2018.

From Beijing National Aquatics Center to Shanghai World Financial Center here are 20 Most AmazingArchitecture in China!
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
# 10 Shanghai World Financial Center
The Shanghai World Financial Center is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world and easily the tallest building in Shanghai. It is distinguished by its unique shape, 101 stories and 1,621 feet/494.3 meters tall. It is a mixed space that has a ground level mall, hotels, office spaces, and observational decks.
# 9 Beijing National Stadium
The Beijing National Stadium was built in 2008 for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It’s also known as the Bird’s Nest because of the lattice structure that covers the whole structure. It has a capacity of 91,000 total and had a record attendance of nearly just as many people. Currently, it does not have much use.
# 8 Beijing National Aquatics Center
The Beijing National Aquatics Center was another structure built for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Although it’s not actually in the shape of a cube, it is colloquially known as the Water Cube. During the Olympics swimmers broke 25 world records but after the Olympics ended officials struggled to find a use for the building. Now, after a 200 million Yuan (you-en) revamp it has turned into an indoor Water Park. It is also slated to host curling events at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
# 7 The LotusBuilding
In Wujin, China is the Lotus Building, a building that looks like a floating, lit lotus flower floating on a pool of water. It was built by the Australian architecture firm Studio505 and obviously modeled after the iconic lotus flower. It is a flashy building that serves as the building for the city planning bureau - a major upgrade for a bureaucratic government committee.
# 6 Ring of LifeThe Ring of Life is a super clean structure in Fushun, China and stands at 515 feet tall. It is a giant steel structure in the shape of a giant shape. It has an observation deck, and it is lit up by 12,000 LED lights. The strange thing is that it is built out in the middle of nowhere as a way to attract a tourist industry to the area. It used around 3,000 tons of steel and cost around $16 million US dollars.
# 5 New Century Global CenterThe NewCenturyGlobalCenter is known as the biggest building by volume in the world. It is famous for the fact that 20 of the Sydney Opera House could fit inside of it. Inside of this center in Chengdu is an amazing amount of facilities like an entire UniversityComplex, one of the biggest shopping centers in the world, an entire IMAX theater, and a faux Mediterranean village.
# 4 Phoenix InternationalMedia Center
This building is the home for PhoenixSatellite Television and is officially called the Phoenix International Media Center but is colloquially known as the Little Bird’s Nest. It is reportedly modeled after a Mobius strip which is why it has a round shape and continuous surface. It has office space and recording studios for everything in the production pipeline of Phoenix TV which is a Hong Kong broadcasting firm that distributes to mainland China. It is not only stylish but takes green practices into account, and the surfaces of the building collect rainwater to be recycled.
# 3 Zoho Peaks
The Zoho Peaks in Beijing were designed to look like a cluster of mountains, and they certainly live up to their namesake. They are a mixed space building utilized as both a retail space and office complex, but primarily it decorates the Beijing skyline with a unique looking building.
# 2 Coiling DragonCliff
This skin-tingling glass walk is the Coiling Dragon skywalk is installed 984 feet up on the Tianmen (chee-ann-min) Mountain in one of China’s national parks. It is a 100 meter or 110-yard long walk on an almost completely transparent glass structure. Parts of the skywalk overlook the popular Tongtian Avenue, a mountain path that has 99 turns and snakes into the Tianmen mountain. The walkway is more than stable, but you can see tourists clinging to the cliff afraid of falling while the bolder of heart sit directly on the glass overlooking the deathly fall.
# 1 Linked Hybrid
This building from Steven HollArchitecture firm has been called a city within a city because of the plethora of different facilities that use the space inside. The Linked Hybrid has been named the best tall building of Australia and Asia because it comes with office space, education facilities, even a jazz club. The building itself consists of eight different towers that are linked together by sky bridges. It’s a compound that seeks to streamline city life by minimizing the amount of time people have to commute every day.

Update 3/2017 China Zun Tower 528m, 108fl Beijing's tallest skyscraper to be built
Photo taken on Sept. 19, 2011 shows the ceremony for the beginning of the construction of the city's tallest skycraper in Beijing, capital of China. Beijing will begin building the city's tallest skyscraper in its central business district. The 108-story 510-meter building, called "China Zun", is shaped like a zun, an ancient Chinese wine vessel, and will be completed within five years.
BEIJING - A groundbreaking ceremony for a new skyscraper took place in Beijing's central business district (CBD) on Monday, marking the beginning of construction on what will eventually be the city's tallest skyscraper.
The design of the China Zun building was inspired by an ancient Chinese wine vessel, according to the CITIC Group, the building's developer. The building will serve a variety of functions, serving as both an office building and a tourist destination, according to the group.
The China Zun will dwarf the nearby China World Trade CenterTower 3, a 330-meter-tall building that is currently the tallest in the city.
Aiming to top China's more environmentally-friendly skyscrapers, the group said that the building will feature the latest energy-saving technology in order to encourage the efficient consumption of energy.
The building's top floor will function as a sightseeing platform and cafe, providing visitors with a panoramic view of the CBD, the group said.

Skyscrapers in Beijing:
This list of tallest buildings in Beijing ranks skyscrapers in Beijing, the capital city of the People's Republic of China, by height. The tallest completed building in Beijing is currently the 81-storey China World Trade CentreTowerIII at 330 metres (1,083 ft) tall. The second-tallest building in the city is the Fortune Plaza Office Building 1, which stands 260 metres (853 ft) tall with 63 stories.and the third-tallest is the Park Tower, standing at 250 m (820 ft), also containing 63 stories. The Park Tower is the tallest building out of the three-building Beijing Yintai Centre, which includes two adjoining 186 m (610 ft), 42-storey skyscrapers.
The history of skyscrapers in Beijing began in 1959 with the completion of the NationalMinorityHotel.Beijing's skyline gradually expanded upward at a modest rate for three decades. The completion of the China World Trade Center Tower 1 in 1989 marked the beginning of Beijing's first building boom that lasted ten years. During this time period, four skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft) were completed, including the 208 m (682 ft) Jing Guang Centre, which stood as the tallest building in Beijing from 1990–2006. A second, much larger boom began in 2004 and continues into the present, where twelve skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft) were finished. Many of the skyscrapers completed during both building booms are located in Chaoyang District, including the Beijing TV Centre, Park Tower and Fortune Plaza Office Building 1, all of which served as the tallest building in the city for a time.As ofDecember 2008, there are 895 completed highrise buildings in Beijing.
Another famous project in the city is the 234 m (768 ft), 51-storey CCTV Headquarters building, nicknamed "Big Shorts". The skyscraper is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of five horizontal and vertical sections, creating an irregular grid on the building’s facade with an open center. With 389,079 square metres (4,188,010 sq ft) of office space, the skyscraper will become the largest office building in China and the second-largest in the world, after the Pentagon. As of December 2008, there 45 projects under construction and proposed in Beijing.Wikipedia

Heavy smog is a growing problem in Beijing and 25 provinces in China. When even adding more trees and plants can't help China clean up its air, what sort of solution is out there?
A smog-eating building! Designed by Berlin's Elegant Embellishments, this innovative tile material on the Torre de Especialidades Tower outside a hospital in Mexico City mitigates smog by neutralizing exhaust emitted by hundreds of passing cars each day.
A layer of titanium dioxide, which is also found in sunblock and paint, is applied to the tiles on the building's beehive-shaped facade. When exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun, titanium dioxide breaks down smog into safer chemicals, such as water and carbon dioxide.
The unique beehive shape also increases the surface area that can react with sunlight. According to designers, the smog-eating tiles best function best at parking lots, sky bridges and bus stations.

WONG:
The Los Angeles Times reports that at least 20 per cent of Beijings 500 million square feet of commercial real estate built since 2006, is either vacant or nearly so.
The scale of pre-Olympic building broke all world records, thrusting Beijing into the architectural limelight. But now, six months after the Games have ended, many of the buildings that sparkle in the night lights are hauntingly empty come daylight.
There are almost no long-term economic benefits expected from the buildings.
The BirdsNest national stadium, for example, costs $9 million a year to maintain, but with only one scheduled event in 2009, the nest will probably become a shopping mall.
With no private ownership of land in China and a lack of government supervision in the real estate industry, pre-Olympic developers ignored the mass market and built only for the luxury market.
Most of the real estate has been financed by Chinese banks that have not written down the loans. But when they are finally forced to, a trickle down effect is expected throughout the economy.

China's Future MEGAPROJECTS (2016-2050's)

China is embracing megaprojects at an unprecedented rate and will - over the course of a few decades - complete a phase of infrastructure that will rival what the United States has built in its entire history.

When I came to Beijing, I was curious about how and where Chinese people lived in the past? Not only I decided to stay in one of Beijing's hutongs but also took the pedicab around the intricate twisted lanes to admire the old courtyards and experience the life of the ancient Beijing. After decades of decay hutong life is getting harder. In the last 20 years Beijing has doubled in size to 20 million residents. The newcomers in the capital need homes jobs and conveniences that traditional hung life just can't supply but experts say that rapid urbanisation should still preserve the past.
In the same way that Forbidden City is the symbol of China's royal family; the winding hutongs in Beijing represent the way of life of the common people. Some may even say that the real culture of Beijing i...

About Megastructures:
Megastructures is a documentary television series appearing on the National Geographic Channel in the United States and the United Kingdom, Channel 5 in the United Kingdom, France 5 in France, and 7mate in Australia.
Each episode is an educational look of varying depth into the construction, operation, and staffing of various structures or construction projects, but not ordinary construction products.
Generally containing interviews with designers and project managers, it presents the problems of construction and the methodology or techniques used to overcome obstacles. In some cases (such as the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge and Petronas Towers) this involved the development of new materials or products that are now in general use within the construction industry.
Megastructures focuses on constructions that are extreme; in the sense that they are the biggest, tallest, longest, or deepest in the world. Alternatively, a project may appear if it had an element of novelty or are a world first (such as Dubai's Palm Islands). This type of project is known as a Megaproject.
The series follows similar subjects as the History Channel's Modern Marvels and Discovery Channel's Extreme Engineering; covering areas of architecture, transport, construction and manufacturing.

When I came to Beijing, I was curious about how and where Chinese people lived in the past? Not only I decided to stay in one of Beijing's hutongs but also took the pedicab around the intricate twisted lanes to admire the old courtyards and experience the life of the ancient Beijing. After decades of decay hutong life is getting harder. In the last 20 years Beijing has doubled in size to 20 million residents. The newcomers in the capital need homes jobs and conveniences that traditional hung life just can't supply but experts say that rapid urbanisation should still preserve the past.
In the same way that Forbidden City is the symbol of China's royal family; the winding hutongs in Beijing represent the way of life of the common people. Some may even say that the real culture of Beijing is the culture of the hutong and courtyards. In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of 'siheyuan'. In Chinese, 'Si' means 'Four' which refers to four sides: east, west, north and south where 'He' refers to surroundings, meaning the four sides circle into a square. Due to its special layout, it is compared to a box with a garden in the centre. There is only one gate leading to a hutong, so when the gate is closed it is easy to lose touch with the outside world. In such environment family members can fully enjoy tranquillity and share the happiness of a peaceful family union. On the other hand many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another making it easy for local people to keep in touch with their neighbours. Once you enter any of the lanes, you can feel a deep and warm relationships among people.
Hutong is a Mongolian word meaning water well. In the past, Beijing was composed of hundreds of courtyards around the Forbidden City, and these lanes stretched out in all four directions, connecting the different kinds of courtyards in the city. Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing's hutongs has dropped dramatically as they were demolished to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history. The data can further explain the severe reality. According to research, Beijing had 3,050 hutongs in 1949, 2,250 in 1990 and only a little over 1,300 in 2004. Together with the Forbidden City, it is regarded as a symbol of old Beijing. However, with more and more being destroyed day by day, the old city is disappearing.

The Universe is all of time and space and its contents. The Universe includes planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy. The observable universe is about 28 billion parsecs (91 billion light-years) in diameter at the present time. The size of the whole Universe is not known and may be infinite. Observations and the development of physical theories have led to inferences about the composition and evolution of the Universe.
Throughout recorded history, cosmologies and cosmogonies, including scientific models, have been proposed to explain observations of the Universe. The earliest quantitative geocentric models were developed by ancient Greek philosophers and Indian philosophers.Over the centuries, more precise astronomical observations led to Nicolaus Copernicus's heliocentric model of the Solar System and Johannes Kepler's improvement on that model with elliptical orbits, which was eventually explained by Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. Further observational improvements led to the realization that the Solar System is located in a galaxy composed of billions of stars, the Milky Way. It was subsequently discovered that our galaxy is just one of many. On the largest scales, it is assumed that the distribution of galaxies is uniform and the same in all directions, meaning that the Universe has neither an edge nor a center. Observations of the distribution of these galaxies and their spectral lines have led to many of the theories of modern physical cosmology. The discovery in the early 20th century that galaxies are systematically redshifted suggested that the Universe is expanding, and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation suggested that the Universe had a beginning. Finally, observations in the late 1990s indicated the rate of the expansion of the Universe is increasing indicating that the majority of energy is most likely in an unknown form called dark energy. The majority of mass in the universe also appears to exist in an unknown form, called dark matter.

China is building a mega-airport in Beijing that will open in 2019

In China, construction is underway for one of the biggest airports in the world. Beijing Daxing Airport is about 42 miles south of the city center and will be accessible by high-speed train. Following is the text of the video. Beijing is building a massive new airport. Beijing Daxing Airport will be 18 square miles. It will cost $12.1 billion to build. The airport will serve 45 million passengers initially, but could eventually serve 100 million. Building the frame required 57,000 tons of steel and 56.5 million cubic feet of concrete. Two major Chinese airlines will use the airport as a base which will account for most of the traffic. Located about 42 miles south of Beijing, it will be accessible by expressway and high-speed train. When it opens in 2019, it will be one of the largest airports in the world.

China Zun Becomes Highest Building in Beijing

The unfinished China Zun building became the highest skyscraper in Beijing on Thursday at 333 meters, dwarfing the nearby China World Trade CenterTower 3.
Located in Beijing's Central Business District, also known as CBD, the building, constructed on a site of 11,478 square meters, will stand at a whopping 528 meters high with 108 floors and 7 underground stories.
The façade features ultra-white glass and the elevators will be able to take visitors straight to the top floor at a staggering height of 524 meters.
The building’s design was inspired by an ancient Chinese wine vessel, according to the CITIC Group, the building's developer.
Zeng Yunping, the chief operating manager of the project, said many firsts have been made, such as a 500-meter elevator that only takes 10 seconds to reach the 28th floor.
"So far, the China Zun project has 12 technological innovations, in particular, the intelligent construction equipment integration platform, which has been developed by us independently, has 14 patents, six of which are patents for invention. Experts have validated that this platform is of the finest in the world, and will be the key technology for China to build skyscrapers higher than 1,000 meters," said Zeng.
The skyscraper will serve a variety of functions, such as an office building and a tourist destination, according to the group.
The building's top floor will also function as a sightseeing platform and cafe, providing visitors with a panoramic view of the CBD.
The project will cost an estimated 24 billion yuan (3.8 billion US dollars).
Started in 2013, the China Zun building is scheduled to be completed in July 2017, and begin operation in October 2018.

20 Most Amazing Architecture in China

From Beijing National Aquatics Center to Shanghai World Financial Center here are 20 Most AmazingArchitecture in China!
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
# 10 Shanghai World Financial Center
The Shanghai World Financial Center is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world and easily the tallest building in Shanghai. It is distinguished by its unique shape, 101 stories and 1,621 feet/494.3 meters tall. It is a mixed space that has a ground level mall, hotels, office spaces, and observational decks.
# 9 Beijing National Stadium
The Beijing National Stadium was built in 2008 for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It’s also known as the Bird’s Nest because of the lattice structure that covers the whole structure. It has a capacity of 91,000 total and had a record attendance of nearly just as many people. Currently, it does not have much use.
# 8 Beijing National Aquatics Center
The Beijing National Aquatics Center was another structure built for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Although it’s not actually in the shape of a cube, it is colloquially known as the Water Cube. During the Olympics swimmers broke 25 world records but after the Olympics ended officials struggled to find a use for the building. Now, after a 200 million Yuan (you-en) revamp it has turned into an indoor Water Park. It is also slated to host curling events at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
# 7 The LotusBuilding
In Wujin, China is the Lotus Building, a building that looks like a floating, lit lotus flower floating on a pool of water. It was built by the Australian architecture firm Studio505 and obviously modeled after the iconic lotus flower. It is a flashy building that serves as the building for the city planning bureau - a major upgrade for a bureaucratic government committee.
# 6 Ring of LifeThe Ring of Life is a super clean structure in Fushun, China and stands at 515 feet tall. It is a giant steel structure in the shape of a giant shape. It has an observation deck, and it is lit up by 12,000 LED lights. The strange thing is that it is built out in the middle of nowhere as a way to attract a tourist industry to the area. It used around 3,000 tons of steel and cost around $16 million US dollars.
# 5 New Century Global CenterThe NewCenturyGlobalCenter is known as the biggest building by volume in the world. It is famous for the fact that 20 of the Sydney Opera House could fit inside of it. Inside of this center in Chengdu is an amazing amount of facilities like an entire UniversityComplex, one of the biggest shopping centers in the world, an entire IMAX theater, and a faux Mediterranean village.
# 4 Phoenix InternationalMedia Center
This building is the home for PhoenixSatellite Television and is officially called the Phoenix International Media Center but is colloquially known as the Little Bird’s Nest. It is reportedly modeled after a Mobius strip which is why it has a round shape and continuous surface. It has office space and recording studios for everything in the production pipeline of Phoenix TV which is a Hong Kong broadcasting firm that distributes to mainland China. It is not only stylish but takes green practices into account, and the surfaces of the building collect rainwater to be recycled.
# 3 Zoho Peaks
The Zoho Peaks in Beijing were designed to look like a cluster of mountains, and they certainly live up to their namesake. They are a mixed space building utilized as both a retail space and office complex, but primarily it decorates the Beijing skyline with a unique looking building.
# 2 Coiling DragonCliff
This skin-tingling glass walk is the Coiling Dragon skywalk is installed 984 feet up on the Tianmen (chee-ann-min) Mountain in one of China’s national parks. It is a 100 meter or 110-yard long walk on an almost completely transparent glass structure. Parts of the skywalk overlook the popular Tongtian Avenue, a mountain path that has 99 turns and snakes into the Tianmen mountain. The walkway is more than stable, but you can see tourists clinging to the cliff afraid of falling while the bolder of heart sit directly on the glass overlooking the deathly fall.
# 1 Linked Hybrid
This building from Steven HollArchitecture firm has been called a city within a city because of the plethora of different facilities that use the space inside. The Linked Hybrid has been named the best tall building of Australia and Asia because it comes with office space, education facilities, even a jazz club. The building itself consists of eight different towers that are linked together by sky bridges. It’s a compound that seeks to streamline city life by minimizing the amount of time people have to commute every day.

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace complex from the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644AD) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912AD). It is located in the center of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.
Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 72 ha (180 acres). The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

About Megastructures:
Megastructures is a documentary television series appearing on the National Geographic Channel in the United States and the United Kingdom, Channel 5 in the United Kingdom, France 5 in France, and 7mate in Australia.
Each episode is an educational look of varying depth into the construction, operation, and staffing of various structures or construction projects, but not ordinary construction products.
Generally containing interviews with designers and project managers, it presents the problems of construction and the methodology or techniques used to overcome obstacles. In some cases (such as the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge and Petronas Towers) this involved the development of new materials or products that are now in general use within the construction industry.
Megastructures focuses on constructions that are extreme; in the sense that they are the biggest, tallest, longest, or deepest in the world. Alternatively, a project may appear if it had an element of novelty or are a world first (such as Dubai's Palm Islands). This type of project is known as a Megaproject.
The series follows similar subjects as the History Channel's Modern Marvels and Discovery Channel's Extreme Engineering; covering areas of architecture, transport, construction and manufacturing.

BEIJING ZOO AND BEAUTIFUL SHANGHAI BUILDINGS

Hi guys! Here I am with another vlog... hopefully I'll be posting more vlogs and videos from now on! (Crosses fingers) During the next week I will post the final vlog from this holiday, so stay tuned!
Hope you enjoyed this vlog! And sorry for being so bad at posting recently!

When I came to Beijing, I was curious about how and where Chinese people lived in the past? Not only I decided to stay in one of Beijing's hutongs but also took the pedicab around the intricate twisted lanes to admire the old courtyards and experience the life of the ancient Beijing. After decades of decay hutong life is getting harder. In the last 20 years Beijing has doubled in size to 20 million residents. The newcomers in the capital need homes jobs and conveniences that traditional hung life just can't supply but experts say that rapid urbanisation should still preserve the past.
In the same way that Forbidden City is the symbol of China's royal family; the winding hutongs in Beijing represent the way of life of the common people. Some may even say that the real culture of Beijing is the culture of the hutong and courtyards. In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of 'siheyuan'. In Chinese, 'Si' means 'Four' which refers to four sides: east, west, north and south where 'He' refers to surroundings, meaning the four sides circle into a square. Due to its special layout, it is compared to a box with a garden in the centre. There is only one gate leading to a hutong, so when the gate is closed it is easy to lose touch with the outside world. In such environment family members can fully enjoy tranquillity and share the happiness of a peaceful family union. On the other hand many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another making it easy for local people to keep in touch with their neighbours. Once you enter any of the lanes, you can feel a deep and warm relationships among people.
Hutong is a Mongolian word meaning water well. In the past, Beijing was composed of hundreds of courtyards around the Forbidden City, and these lanes stretched out in all four directions, connecting the different kinds of courtyards in the city. Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing's hutongs has dropped dramatically as they were demolished to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history. The data can further explain the severe reality. According to research, Beijing had 3,050 hutongs in 1949, 2,250 in 1990 and only a little over 1,300 in 2004. Together with the Forbidden City, it is regarded as a symbol of old Beijing. However, with more and more being destroyed day by day, the old city is disappearing.

[Documentary] .The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. [Documentary] .Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century bce; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built 220–206 bce by Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty. [Documentary] .
[Documentary] .Other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. [Documentary] . Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watch towers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.

The Universe is all of time and space and its contents. The Universe includes planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy. The observable universe is about 28 billion parsecs (91 billion light-years) in diameter at the present time. The size of the whole Universe is not known and may be infinite. Observations and the development of physical theories have led to inferences about the composition and evolution of the Universe.
Throughout recorded history, cosmologies and cosmogonies, including scientific models, have been proposed to explain observations of the Universe. The earliest quantitative geocentric models were developed by ancient Greek philosophers and Indian philosophers.Over the centuries, more precise astronomical observations led to Nicolaus Copernicus's heliocentric model of the Solar System and Johannes Kepler's improvement on that model with elliptical orbits, which was eventually explained by Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. Further observational improvements led to the realization that the Solar System is located in a galaxy composed of billions of stars, the Milky Way. It was subsequently discovered that our galaxy is just one of many. On the largest scales, it is assumed that the distribution of galaxies is uniform and the same in all directions, meaning that the Universe has neither an edge nor a center. Observations of the distribution of these galaxies and their spectral lines have led to many of the theories of modern physical cosmology. The discovery in the early 20th century that galaxies are systematically redshifted suggested that the Universe is expanding, and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation suggested that the Universe had a beginning. Finally, observations in the late 1990s indicated the rate of the expansion of the Universe is increasing indicating that the majority of energy is most likely in an unknown form called dark energy. The majority of mass in the universe also appears to exist in an unknown form, called dark matter.
